A clear path to a build-ready project

Every successful project starts with clarity

Our process is designed to take you from an initial idea to a fully planned, build-ready site. Reducing uncertainty, avoiding costly mistakes, and helping you understand what needs to be aligned before construction begins.

Boma provides general guidance based on past experience. All site work, permitting, approvals, and project execution are handled by the buyer and local professionals.

1. Initial Inquiry (No Cost)

Start with the Boma Welcome Packet.

After reaching out, you'll receive our Welcome Packet. This walks you through the key things you need to understand before moving forward. 

  • What Boma provides​

  • ​What you're responsible for

  • Zoning & permitting overview

  • Site prep overview

  • How to get contractor quotes

  • Profitability considerations (for rentals)

  • List of development consultants (for reference)

This packet and Boma Properties provide general guidance to help you understand the process.

All zoning, permitting, and approvals must be confirmed with your local municipality.

All site preparation, estimates, and planning must be coordinated through you and a local contractor.

2. Project Planning Phase ($1000)

Apply everything to your property.

This is where we take the information from the Welcome Packet and apply it directly to your property and goals.

  • Property-Specific Review: Together we will look at your land (maps, photos, details), and review access, terrain, and obvious constraints.

  • ​Model recommendations: Which unit is likely to fit your land and goals, interior layout guidance.

  • General guidance on model setup options (RV/Generator hookup, septic, etc.) 

  • Project Game Plan: What steps you need to take to move forward (You: Confirm zoning with town, contact local contractors, finalize site access plan, lock in model and move to design phase.)

    This phase is based on general guidance and experience. Final decisions and requirements should be confirmed with local professionals.

This fee is non-refundable but credited toward your project if you proceed.

3. Design Phase ($400)

Visualize and finalize your unit before building begins.

  • Final model selection

  • Exterior finishes (color, cladding, etc.)

  • Interior design selections

  • Add-ons (decks, porches, upgrades)

  • We provide 2D layouts and 3D renderings to your exact specifications

  • Final design confirmation before contract and building begins.​

By the end of this phase, your project is fully organized and ready for execution. 

This fee is non-refundable but credited toward your project if you proceed.

Once planning and design are complete:

  1. Design Finalization & Fixed Quote

We Don't Just Sell Units
We Help You Plan the Project

Most container companies stop at the build.

We provide guidance to help you understand your project from the ground up. So you're not left figuring out site prep, layout, and logistics without direction.

Built Around Real Land,
Not Just Factory Designs

Every project is considered in the context of your actual property: access, terrain, utilities, and typical local requirements.

No generic layouts that don't translate once delivered.

Clarity Before You Comit

Our planning-first approach is designed to give you direction early.

You'll have a clearer understanding of feasibility, layout considerations, and next steps before moving into production.

Aligned With Real-World Requirements

We help you think through how your project fits with typical site conditions and requirements. 

All final approvals and requirements are determined by your local municipality and professionals.

Designed for Fast, Low-Disruption Installation

Units arrive largely complete and ready for placement.

This reduces on-site construction time, minimizes disruption, and helps shorten the time to use or revenue.
